This is somewhat related, but I've been able to get a new Jade to compile
on my Alpha system quite easily.  It didn't "work" before getting it the
newer SGMLtools (2.0) package--and everything now works.  Using gcc
2.7.2.3, as egcs 1.03a doesn't work with it for some strange reason.

(Don't mind me--I'm hoping for Debian-Alpha to get going so I can download
it!)
